GitHub API error: `The search is longer than 256 characters.`

[h-yon]

Thank you for this great gem.

I am running git-pr-release --squashed in CI on GitHub Actions to create prod release PR.
When the number of PRs contained became large, I encountered an error.
The following is the runner's output (query is masked, keeping string length).
